While every week so far in SF has been incredible, I am especially excited for this one!

 However, I guess a few of you may be wondering, "hey Rob, where is your weekly post?"

Over the past few weeks I've gotten really busy and just haven't found the time to make the detailed weekly post I'd put together for the first 6 weeks of my life in SF. However, that is certainly not due to the lack of exciting events.

This past week and honestly this past month, I've been cramming during nearly every free moment I've had for this REALLY COOL opportunity I have that is FINALLY here this week!!!!

I am incredibly excited to say that this Thursday and Friday I will be attending the Bitcoin Edge Dev++ Technical Bootcamp at Stanford!

"Bitcoin Edge Dev++ Tutorial is meant to focus on scaling the development capacity of the ecosystem via education of developers in the field of cryptocurrency and helping the industry streamline the process of developer training. The primary focus of this tutorial will be a basic first-principles introduction to cryptocurrency as well as cryptocurrency-specific engineering methodologies, security practices, and standard operating procedures."

**Here is a breakdown of what I'll learn:**

While it was sort of a long shot to begin with, I am on a mission to contribute to the Bitcoin Core project. I believe Bitcoin will be around for at least another 9 years (turned 9 today) and so I want to (literally) have a hand in helping shape this incredible technology!

I'll let y'all know how it goes! Hope everyone has a great week, cheers and Steem on!
